Chapter five hundred and fifty sixth anxious prefect
Chapter 556: Anxious Magistrate Lang
Soon, Bai Yucheng sent Wei Yuanhu away from the private room.
Outside the private room, Wei Yuanhu clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Bai, please give me a nice word in front of Mr. Lang later, otherwise this matter..."
"I understand..." Bai Yucheng expressed his understanding, raised his hand and pressed down Wei Yuanhu's fist as big as a sandbag, and whispered: "Even if Gang Leader Wei didn't say anything, Yu Cheng would have done it. You and I both
I do my best to run errands for you, as you should!"
Wei Yuanhu suddenly showed gratitude, clasped his fists again and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Bai. If Wei is a host someday, I will definitely thank Mr. Bai properly!"
"Easy to say, easy to say..." Bai Yucheng's face immediately turned into a kind smile, and then he whispered: "Gang Leader Wei, you still have to do what I asked you to do with all your heart and soul, no matter what the result is.
You still have to let the adults see your loyalty, and don’t make them unhappy again!”
"I understand, I understand!"
Wei Yuanhu agreed, thanked Bai Yucheng again, and then turned around and went downstairs.
Bai Yucheng heard the footsteps going downstairs gradually getting further away, and then he said to the two people guarding the stairs: "No one is allowed to go upstairs without your permission!"
After giving the instructions, Bai Yucheng returned to his private room.
At this time, Magistrate Lang in the private room was pacing back and forth anxiously. When he saw Bai Yucheng coming back, he sighed heavily: "Alas..."
Bai Yucheng closed the door of the private room and said with concern: "Sir, don't be too anxious..."
"Can I not be anxious?" Magistrate Lang clasped his hands behind his back and said angrily: "If we can't find those two guys, not only will I die, but my wife, children, and mother will also die as well! They are secretly taught.
Those monsters are really abominable and hateful!"
When he said this, Magistrate Lang touched his neck. The feeling of having a cold knife pressed against his neck that night was still fresh in his memory.
In fact, long before Liu Zongyi of Zhengning County sent someone to report the news, an unknown masked man had sneaked into Lang Xiong's bedroom. The man held a knife to Lang Xiong's throat, claimed to be a member of the secret cult, and threatened Lang Xiong.
Xiong removes Chai Yan and the two who are coming to Yaozhou! Otherwise, he will kill Lang Xiong’s family!
Lang Xiong was tough at first, but the masked man threw several accessories worn by his wife and children. Lang Xiong panicked instantly because he knew very well that these items were never left by his wife and children. Now
Being able to see it means that the people of the Dark Cult have taken his family hostage. If he doesn't agree, he may lose the chance to return to his hometown to collect the corpse!
A few days after that, Lang Xiong received a letter from Liu Zongyi, which said that Chai Yan and his wife were on their way to Yaozhou and would arrive the next day.
Liu Zongyi is not a member of the secret cult. He sent this letter purely to give Lang Xiong a warning, hoping that his superiors would be on guard. To put it bluntly, he was afraid that Wu Desi would suddenly come to investigate corruption cases among local officials.
.
So on the day he received the letter, Lang Xiong immediately called for Wei Yuanhu and ordered him to send people out of the city to intercept and kill him. However, who knew that his side would end up in a disastrous defeat, and in the end the whereabouts of Chai Yan and the two men were lost.
Currently unable to deal with the masked men of the Dark Cult, Lang Xiong was extremely annoyed and anxious.
Magistrate Lang started pacing back and forth in the room again, frowning, and said very depressedly: "Hateful, really hateful! That secret cult monster, if he wants to kill Chai Yan, just go and kill him yourself, why do you have to find me for this irrelevant thing?
It’s hateful!”
Magistrate Lang used the word "hateful" three times in a row, but there was nothing he could do.
Bai Yucheng said: "Sir, Yucheng thinks that the secret sect Yaoxie must have resorted to such despicable means because he is no match for Chai Yan and the others. He wants to use your hands to get rid of his enemy!"
Magistrate Lang couldn't think of a solution, so he sighed in frustration again: "Oh! My mother, my wife, my child..."
Magistrate Lang walked back and forth in the room a few times. He turned around and saw Bai Yucheng holding his chin and thinking about something, and asked, "Yucheng, what are you thinking about?"
Bai Yucheng frowned and replied: "Sir, I was wondering why Chai Yan and the others came to our Yaozhou if they didn't stay in the capital for the New Year?"
Magistrate Lang said with an annoyed look on his face: "It's already this time, do you still have the heart to think about this?"
Bai Yucheng was suddenly startled and said in a low voice: "Sir, do you think this Chai Yan is here because of Commander Gu's affairs?"
Magistrate Lang immediately waved his hand and said: "It's impossible, it's impossible. Commander Gu's disappearance outside Yaozhou City is not a trivial matter. Even if we want to investigate, why would we only send a couple to investigate? At least there must be an envoy to lead someone.
Come over here!”
Bai Yucheng didn't think so, and analyzed carefully: "Sir, last time Secretary Wang from the police station drank too much and secretly told me that Commander Gu and his team were attacked and disappeared on their way back to Beijing. The news has been blocked from the outside world! In
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the capital to send people to investigate in a big way! It is entirely possible to send two unknown faces to investigate the situation!"
Magistrate Lang turned his head and stared at Bai Yucheng. He nodded after a long time and said: "Yes, when you say that, it is really possible. Otherwise, why would he not spend the entire New Year in the capital and rush to a poor place like ours?"
Woolen cloth?"
After saying that, Magistrate Lang became worried again: "Whether it is true or not, this matter has nothing to do with us. Commander Gu made it very likely that they were attacked by rogue bandits...On the contrary, it was me,
If we don’t find Chai Yan and the others and deal with them, my family will be... ugh!"
"Sir, how can it not matter? It does matter a lot!" Bai Yucheng said hurriedly.
Magistrate Lang immediately looked at Bai Yucheng, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Bai Yucheng said: "Sir, Commander Gu was attacked on the ground in Yaozhou after all. You are the prefect of Yaozhou, so you have nothing to do with it!"
"But...but if they want to hold me accountable, shouldn't the gang of bandits surnamed Wang be here long ago?" Magistrate Lang spread his hands, looking very puzzled.
Bai Yucheng couldn't figure out why, so he speculated: "Maybe...there are other reasons..."
Magistrate Lang suddenly interrupted: "Don't think about this now. If you have some spare time, you'd better quickly think of how to find those two guys!"
Bai Yucheng also knew which was more important, so he turned his focus back to looking for Chai Yan.
After thinking for a long time, Bai Yucheng suddenly said: "Sir, Yucheng has thought of a way, but I don't know whether to say it or not..."
"When has it been? You're still lying!" Magistrate Lang said angrily: "Speak!"
Bai Yucheng walked up to Magistrate Lang and whispered, "Sir, we can hire a killer!"
"Killer?"
Magistrate Lang's expression turned stern, and he looked sideways and said, "They have killed a whole group of bandits. Can the killer be their opponent?"
Bai Yucheng smiled slyly and whispered: "Sir, ordinary killers can't deal with it, but there is a killer who can definitely do it!"
